"As the sun sets, impressions are lasting..." 

The Lunar EP signals Styke's return to Differential. A meticulously crafted collection of tracks, ranging from buttery smooth soul, to rough minimalism.

The title track, Lunar, is a warm roller, reminding us of a laid back summer night and the accompanying memories. The lush soundscapes, calming vocal and subtle piano guide you as you unwind and sit back. This doesn't stop until the outro slowly sets up the second track, setting the tone for a lovely short adventure.

On Retrospect Styke changes over the soft piano in Lunar for a gentle synth. Retrospect once again delivers an easy-going experience, with a mild, enchanting atmosphere. This time however, you feel a slightly less mellow undertone, a feeling of dusk approaching, eager to turn into an unforgettable night. 

The third track, So Many Things, a collaborative effort with Australian based Brainwork, takes the mood set in earlier tracks and really drives it home. Brainwork's highly recognisable sounds present a perfect foundation for a dark, yet classy experience. 

As the earlier tracks set everything up, Tough Luck is the track that drives the nail in the coffin. The warm atmosphere, but uneasy undertones have fully transformed in an all-out turmoil of sound. The EP culminates into this hard, driving track, with stepping drums and rough bassline. If earlier tracks set you up for an unbelievable night, this is the one that makes sure it's engraved in your mind forever. 

Through the Lunar EP, Styke delivers an ode to the underground, reminiscing of all those memories. This is an essential listening experience, cementing Styke as one of the most promising fresh faces in drum and bass.

Suv & Dr Meaker link up for a 3 track project which features the ‘Original Mix’, of ‘Fire’ featuring the vocals of Paul Charles, then Bladerunner delivers both a ‘Dub Mix’ and a killer ‘Jungle Mix’.

As a crucial member of the respected Full Cycle and Reprazent stables, Suv has undoubtedly contributed his fair share to the development of Drum n Bass and definitely to the sound of Bristol. Suv has always forged his own path within D&B and continues to do so, this release with Dr Meaker is a fine example of that.

Dr Meaker has built up an impressive CV, gaining nods from the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, DJ Target, Mistajam, support from UKF, Mixmag, DJ Mag, DNBA and more. As well as now being considered a regular at festivals such as Glastonbury and Boomtown with his 9 piece Live Act, arguably the biggest platforms for Drum & Bass in the country.

Nobody can handle a remix quite like Bladerunner, and this release is proof. Not one, but TWO killer remixes that see him take the original in separate directions, a reggae style Dub Mix and a Jungle Mix.

Introducing some fresh talent to the CIA catalogue, we welcome Kublai for his first release on the label – the eclectic ‘Free Flow EP’. 
True to his city, the Manchester based producer draw inspirations from a diverse palette and his EP is a testament to this, showcasing his sound via four tracks representing four different styes. 
After pushing things forward during lockdown with releases on Goldfat and Vandal (alongside fellow CIA artist Minor Forms), the ‘Free Flow EP’ marks the next development for Kublai; which, with the guidance and encouragement of Total Science, has led him to explore new avenues in DnB. 
“Initially I didn't plan this as an EP, but after writing a lot of liquid, I wanted to try my hand at some heavier sounds... I've just always wanted to make music that I love to hear, that's got soul; whether it be the heavier side of things or the more liquid side of things.” 
Setting things off is ‘Free Flow’ as Kublai experiments with different types of percussion, atop of uplifting pads and vocals. A driving bassline carries throughout, leading neatly into ‘Emerald Funk’, where some tech funk influences come into play on a darker stepper that’s seeping with groove. 
Switching the vibe again, even to his own surprise, ‘Revelation’ sees Kublai impressively exploring on a jungle tip for the first time, with rolling breaks, vocal cuts and switching bass, before completing the EP with the piano strewn, sultry sounds of ‘Young Soul’ – a full circle back to his soulful roots.

ℹ️ | Bay 6 Recordings present the fourth edition of their compilation series Back to Bay 6, Vol.4. Much like the  previous records, the label aims to introduce fresh talent alongside their existent roster. Artists such as  Artsea, Beeson, Natus, and vocalist Aleya Mae contribute tracks alongside long-standing Bay 6 artists like  Colossus and Fearbace, as well as recent signees Option and AUDBL. The result is a rich take on drum &  bass, where artists are given the freedom to build upon the foundations of the genre.

Artsea's 'Summer's End' opens the record. Serenity is the atmosphere here, as the track leads with a gentle  piano riff. Modulated pads and driving percussion play out in the background, recalling the rise and fall of  waves crashing against the rocks. 

Colossus and Aleya Mae contribute 'Flight Patterns'. Technical drum programming, spherical synth  patterns and deep bass lines create a stirring base from which Aleya Mae delivers a soaring vocal full of extended harmonies. Texturally, the track is detailed, a dense combination of sounds designed to evoke  the deepest feelings. 

Elsewhere, AUDBL's 'Night’s Embrace' features undulating motifs and finely layered melody work lower in  the mix; Beeson's 'Cindy Stop It' is a minimal symphony defined by a gripping intro, and 'Find My Way' sees  Fearbace and Natus deliver a poignant take on drum & bass. 

Option's 'Prying Eyes' closes out the record. Perhaps the most club-ready track on the compilation, it's skittering drums take hold on the brain like a liquid symbiote, while nimble melodies and cavernous bass add the decoration.

We’re proud to bring you our next release from Zero T, returning to the label after 2019’s Dispatch Dubplate 013 and 2018’s Little Pieces LP. 

Zero T's discography reflects the diversity that his DJ sets have always shown, ranging from full vocal smoothness to more rolling, dance floor styles. This release is no exception, with two tracks ‘Hurt Inside’ and ‘Sonic Bionic’ effortlessly demonstrating his range and varied influences.

‘Hurt Inside’ was written with an early 2000's MIST influence. The piano and vocal are the beating heart of this track, setting the mood perfectly. All the other elements have been kept clean and simple so as to not get in their way. 

‘Sonic Bionic’ began with the harp loop, channelling a dark Wu Tang type of vibe. From there the inspiration just flew – a Bristol style, two-tone ascending bass with hip hop vocal samples and scratches combined with a stepping beat. A simple, stripped back groove - one for the DJs.
